( Westwood ) Cincinnati police say 22-year-old Monica Brown was driving east in the 5400 block of Montana Avenue on Saturday morning, when she lost control, went off the road and struck a utility pole. 

Brown, who was in her third trimester of pregnancy, had to be extricated by firefighters from the car and was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital with serious injuries. Brown was not wearing a seatbelt. Doctors determined the fetus was not viable as a result of the crash. 

The cause of the crash is under investigation, but police say speed and alcohol are not factors.
